This is My Melbourne

As a University of Melbourne student, you can get involved in the many campus activities on offer, enjoy amazing new experiences and make lifelong friends along the way. Our students explain why they love studying and living in the heart of Melbourne.

Engagement at the University of Melbourne encompasses the mutually beneficial relationships the institution has with wider society. It connects our teaching, students and research work with communities – locally, nationally and globally – to help us achieve our academic aspirations and create economic, social and cultural value.

This understanding of engagement is reflected in the University’s three engagement commitments:

3010 is the University’s magazine for alumni and friends. Named after the postcode for Parkville, the historic heart of the University, the magazine is published twice a year in hard copy and online. It’s packed with news and features about the University and its people – from the researchers at the forefront of discovery to the alumni making their mark in the world.
